ON ISLAND
The On Island documentary opens to general audiences everywhere on Friday, February 12th, available to stream for free on the website at www.onislandmv.org.
“…as we lay the foundation for the gradual process of shifting social norms – to build a culture that seeks to reduce SUD (Substance Use Disorder) and destigmatize addiction, as well as prevent or delay first use among Island use.” MVCS Feb 5, 2021
“St Andrew’s Church has been represented at the large island-wide roundtable, the MV Substance Use Disorder Coalition (SUDC), since its inception five years ago.
One of the number of subgroups working on various initiatives of the SUDC is called “ON ISLAND.” ON ISLAND is a grassroots movement to proactively embrace positive change by facing the growing challenges of substance use on Martha’s Vineyard. The goal of ON ISLAND is to encourage a community-led response to reduce substance misuse and de-stigmatize addiction, as well as prevent or delay first use among Island youth.”
The Rev. Vincent “Chip” Seadale

A tradition in my house growing up was the use of a daily calendar with activities to do during Lent. I have found two really good examples and share them with you here. These calendars are written from a Christian perspective from Devyn and Tally Designs and are available for purchase on Etsy. I share them here with you- but if you’d like to support their small business, look them up on Etsy and purchase the calendar of your choosing or both.
The 2021 Kids Lenten Calendar is part of the February Faith Kits which come with a journal and color markers to respond to some of the prompts on the calendar. While this calendar is written for kids with example activities like “Chat with someone in school you wouldn’t normally talk to”, most of the activities are good behaviors for any of us, regardless of age, and can be applied to all regardless of situation. The other calendar, the 2021 Carbon Fast Lenten Calendar, prompts us to consider behaviors that are impacting climate change and energy consumption. The very first prompt, “Remove one light bulb in your house and live without it for 40 days”, is a fitting reminder that all of our behaviors have an impact, whether we literally see those impacts or not.
Whatever we do or don’t do this Lent, let your journey bring new life to your life by taking this opportunity to know Jesus more deeply.
Blessings to all on your Lenten journey.
Sincerely,
Laura Noonan
Mom and Family Faith Kit Coordinator
